    I feel at this point I must contribute by making a reccommendation.

    I strongly reccommend the H&R coil springs, I had the 30mm drop H&R's on my 854 and it sat perfectly and handled briliantly, smithness can vouch for this. They are now sat in the garage looking sorry for themselves.
    Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

    Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....

    And can anyone explain this peice of plastic that only seems to block the air intake in front of the intercooler?

    Yes it's a snow baffle I believe. Remember the cars were made to cope with Swedish winters!

    I removed mine. Don't get much snow in Herts.
